Simple Prayers

"Pray Without Ceasing", I don't know if momma said this or it is from the bible. Either way it is a holy statement that I have always lived by.
I pray all of the time, not down on my knees, praying. Out loud talking to God praying. Most of the time I just say "Jesus" and figure he knows the rest. Sometimes I feel the need to clarify, like "Jesus, please help these Republicans open their hearts and wallets, all God's children need health insurance!!!!!"
Most of the time my prayers are very simple, and a lot of prayer time is thanking God for everything in my life.
I do have an everyday prayer, and that is to see my son Ward. I say, "Jesus, send me Ward in a dream."
I think most mothers who have lost children probably have the same prayer.
Last night I had Ward in my dreams. He was at home, he was a mess, he needed a haircut and he needed me. I held his sweet face in my hands.
My prayer this morning was "Jesus, thank you for holding me, and p.s. keep working on the Republicans!"
